SIBM Nagpur Admission Process

SNAP is the only entrance test used for MBA and MBA-FABM admission at SIBM Nagpur. The institute has neither centralised counselling nor a management quota. Final selection considers SNAP, a Group Exercise (GE) and a Personal Interaction (PI) conducted at the Nagpur campus. The 100-point final score assigns 50 marks to SNAP, 40 marks to PI and 10 marks to GE.

MBA and MBA-FABM Admission Process

Applicants need a bachelor’s degree from a recognised university with at least a 50% aggregate. Students in the final year of graduation can also submit an application.

• Complete SNAP 2026 registration at snaptest.org and choose SIBM Nagpur as a preferred institute.
• Take SNAP 2026 on one, two or all three test dates: December 13, December 19 and December 26, 2026. When an applicant makes multiple attempts, the higher score is used for percentile calculation.
• After the SNAP result on January 12, 2027, shortlisted applicants must complete the separate SIBM Nagpur registration by January 20, 2027. SNAP registration and institute registration are different requirements.
• Book a slot between January 23 and January 28, 2027, and attend the Group Exercise and Personal Interaction at SIBM Nagpur between January 30 and February 4 or between February 6 and February 11, 2027.
• Review the first merit list on February 18, 2027. Selected students must pay the required fee by March 3, 2027 to confirm their seat.

For General category applicants, the expected SNAP cutoff is 55 to 60 marks out of 100, based on the 2026-28 admission cycle. MBA and MBA-FABM use the same expected range and selection method. Applicants with backgrounds in agriculture, food science, engineering or management are especially suited to MBA-FABM.

Executive MBA Admission Process

A SNAP score is not required for EMBA admission. Shortlisting depends on management work experience, followed by a PI. As the intake, timetable and eligibility rules can change with each cycle, applicants should confirm the current requirements with SIBM Nagpur. The placement support available for the EMBA is not the same as that provided for the two-year residential MBA.

Ph.D. in Management Admission Process

Ph.D. applicants must have an MBA or an equivalent postgraduate qualification with at least a 55% aggregate. They also need a valid CAT, GMAT or SIU entrance-test score. Those shortlisted must take a written test and attend a personal interaction on campus. Merit-based fellowships funded by ICSSR or SIU may help research scholars meet part of the fee for the three-year programme.

SIBM Nagpur Scholarships

Financial assistance at SIBM Nagpur is offered through the Symbiosis International University system. For eligible local students, the Nagpur domicile concession provides the largest direct fee reduction.

SIBM Nagpur Campus and Infrastructure

SIBM Nagpur occupies a 75-acre campus near MIHAN, the Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur, in Nagpur, Maharashtra. Its facilities include an academic block, a library, sports areas and residential infrastructure for every MBA student.

Because the MBA and MBA-FABM are fully residential, hostel accommodation is compulsory for all students in these programmes. The hostel costs INR 2,13,600 per year and offers twin, triple and quad-sharing rooms in AC and non-AC formats. Campus dining is covered by annual mess charges of INR 76,500. Both amounts may rise by up to 15% per year.

The residential format creates a close cohort, a feature noted by alumni and recruiters. Being near MIHAN also connects the campus with Nagpur’s expanding industrial and logistics sector and supports recruiter participation in manufacturing and agri-business.
